2010-10-26 Council meeting summary
==================================
All members present:
betelgeuse, chainsaw, ferringb, jmbsvicetto, halcyon, scarabeus, wired
Agenda:
ferringb forgot to send meeting related mail, so there was no
announced agenda.
Topics discussed:
la files
--------
The council decided that removing la files is the right thing to do,
but the whole thing will be taken to the -dev ML to allow devs to
express their opinions/objections, if any. Jorge will handle this.
The removal will only happen after portage-2.1.9 or later is
stabilized, since this is the first version that can fix la files
automatically.
At that time, a news item will be released to inform users on how to
fix any issues that may arise from the removal.
EAPI 4
------
few_ suggested finalizing EAPI 4 with the features currently
implemented in portage (bug #273620).
we agreed that this is a good idea, as long as a spec list is built
and PMS patches are written for all the features.
ferringb will write documentation for REQUIRED_USE.
the council will finalize things in the next meeting. people
responsible for EAPI 4 should be pinged beforehand so they can attend
that meeting.
